Day One-Hundred Eighty-Nine: Sweet Little Lies by Glenna Bree

He really was a hypocrite, the more he thought about it.

For so long, he'd let Spencer lie to him. Supposedly, he hated lying. And somehow, despite that, he always gave her a pass or turned a blind eye, even when he knew she was lying. Maybe that was love? He wasn't sure. Sometimes, he felt like, subconsciously, he liked that feeling of being burned which he always ended up getting every time Spencer lied (which was quite often).

Sometimes, it just annoyed him so much. He knew that he would take a bullet for her. Sometimes, he felt like she'd be the one pulling the trigger. Morbid, sure, but it was true…at least, to him.

Take today, for instance. He came over to talk to her about everything that had happened with Alison. Since the end of her senior year was approaching and she was going to college, he hoped that the chapter of her life involving A and Alison was long over.

"Have you heard anything from A?" he asked.

She took a sip of her coffee before responding curtly, "No."

Lie.

But it was exactly what he knew she thought he wanted to hear. She didn't want to—for some odd reason he couldn't explain—upset him or worry him.

"Spencer," he responded in a warning tone. She looked over at him with her big brown eyes. He just couldn't stay strong around her. It was like suddenly, it didn't matter if it were true; if he repeated it enough, he'd eventually believe it and then it could be accepted as truth. Right?

"I swear, Toby. We're all fine. I haven't heard from the beast in a while. The only devil I know right now is Alison," she responded with a huff.

Another lie and they both knew it.

Selfishly, he thought, he would let her lead him blind into the fire. It was selfish because if he just ignored the truth which was displayed so blatantly in front of him, how was he supposed to protect her? He just wanted her to be safe. But for some reason, he just wanted to choose her lies, time and time again.

sarahschneider2012: I know, right? It's amazing. I really didn't think I'd get this far. I'm so glad you liked it.

MilaMizz:But girls just wanna have funds, you know? It's so important to me. Funds are the best. SAME. Sometimes I want to die, not because I'm depressed, but so then I will get some actual rest and it sounds nice in my brain.

Sarah:Okay, then, but you do matter. And I'm supposed to be your older sister. I have to nit-pick at everything. Thanks for reviewing (and thanks for the congrats).

FabsirellaPrincessOfPopcornia: Thank you!

AL3110:Nope, he ruined it. I'll explain when I finally talk to you in a billion years. Burger King, but they're both pretty bad. I miss when BK had those crown-shaped chicken nuggets. They were the shite. Wendy's is better than both though. Aww, that's sad. My mom is actually Mexican. I bet you didn't know that. Okay. And I will answer your MATD question later. The next Lana one is #195 (I think) and it's Dark Paradise.

Guest:Thank you so much! You really are so sweet! I'm glad you gave the one-shots a chance. Sometimes they're nice for a little snippet of something so you don't have to delve into a whole story. I'm glad you like my tumblr! I'm thinking of starting another one (for my writing).

Six reviews? You guys are too kind. Really. You're the greatest. 50.000+ views? You guys are seriously the best.

And um...this one was the worst. I hope tomorrow's will be better. It's going to be Starlight by Marina and the Diamonds (and I hope that answers your question, Alliecat). Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to go back to listening to classical music like a nerd. -Kayson
